Hi.
We have several dell xp pro stations networked to a win2000 server running Opera v2.65.00(7)and various other apps. When we upgraded to xp from 98 and/or 2000 we started to get print problems to our networked hplaserj 4050 n. Printing was ok from most windows programs but we could not print from inside Opera. To solve this problem we used the dos command ‘net use lpt2: \\server\printer /persistent:yes’ after clearing the old connection from lpt2.In most cases this worked but on some this command puts the connection in but we still cannot print from opera and receive a ‘cannot write to device lpt2’ system error and then a ‘cannot find pscript.drv’ message.
The latest occurence happened on a machine that had recently had a new personal firewall update but file and printer sharing had been accepted as a trusted source. we still get the lpt2 error after inputting the net use lpt2 command.
Any one have any ideas?
All and any help gratefully received!
